“…Contemporary climate change will not alter this characteristic, but adds another factor into the gamut of reasons for SIDS' peoples choosing and being forced to move. Migration from SIDS should not be idealised, since it contributes to removing skills and abilities from the populations, as demonstrated for Cape Verde (Atchoaréna et al, 2008). SIDS' societal fluxes bring vulnerabilities and resiliences, as do SIDS' ever-morphing landscapes (see also Table 2).…”

Small island developing states (SIDS) are portrayed as icons of climate change impacts, with assumed islandness characteristics being used to emphasize vulnerability. Meanwhile, island resilience expressed as the stability of island 'paradises' is said to be undermined by climate change. Two dominant counternarratives have been emerging. Physical science demonstrates the limited empirical evidence at the moment for SIDS being destroyed due to climate change. Notwithstanding that such empirical evidence could appear in the future, social science counternarratives are challenging notions of SIDS' peoples inevitably fleeing their homes as climate refugees. Instead, SIDS' peoples have strong abilities and desires to make their own mobility decisions, whether due to climate change or other impetuses. Consequently, islandness within SIDS' climate change narratives is not necessarily problematic, but instead can help islanders address climate change and wider challenges. The counternarratives, even if not entirely contradicting the dominant narratives, provide needed nuances, balance, and contextualization to provide a full picture of SIDS, islandness, and climate change.

“…The new millennium has also seen increased attention to education in small states from UNESCO, with the work on SIDS (see also Atchoarena, Da Graca, and Marquez 2008) mentioned earlier, informing ongoing studies of education for sustainable development (ESD) at the international, regional and national levels. Indeed, work by Pacific researchers on ESD is making an original contribution in this crucial arena and deserves increased recognition at the international level.…”

Comparative Education

Comparative research on education in small states has attracted international attention since the mid-1980s when the Commonwealth sponsored a number of seminal meetings and publications, and became a key advocate for the advancement of such work. This article considers the place of different dimensions of scale in comparative research; re-examines the potential of small states as a framework for comparative analysis; and explores the ways in which insights from the small states literature may contribute to new directions for innovative research on education policy transfer in this arena. In doing so, conclusions point to ways of extending the traditional boundaries that have come to demarcate this distinctive arena for research and scholarship in comparative education.

“…In practice, this means that not only is the existing literature on small states somewhat marginalised in the wider social sciences but, in the field of education, work that has been done is highly concentrated on the small states of the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific. To some extent, a further concentration on these three regions has been generated by UNESCO's more recent efforts to stimulate and support work on small island developing states (SIDS) (see for example Atchoarena et al 2008), which have a priority status in UNESCO's medium-term strategy. The 2005 Mauritius Strategy (United Nations 2005) made a 'call for action in many fields related to UNESCO's concerns, programmes and priorities' (UNESCO 2009), which led to the development of the UNESCO SIDS Platform, launched in 2008 to address the multidisciplinary concerns facing the sustainable development of SIDS.…”
